Options Descriptions:

Internal Rewinder:
Factory installed. The internal rewinder is a factory-installed
option. This option does an excellent job of rewinding a full roll
of media, up to an 8" OD roll

Standard Media Cutter:
Field installable, ships in a separate box than the printer. The
media cutter is an operator or field installable option that is
attached to the printer with thumbscrews and a cable. It is not
necessary to access the electronics side of the printer to install
the cutter. When a label has been cut, the printer retracts the
label stock before printing the next label to prevent the loss of
top-of-form registration. The cutter is capable of cutting media up
to .01" thick, and the cutter life is designed to exceed 500,000
cuts. The cutter operation is initiated by a DPL command. The
nominal rated print speed of the printer remains the same, but the
overall throughput is reduced due to the cutting and backing-up
operations.

Media Cutter Tray: Field
installable. The media cutter tray is a field installable option.
The tray is self-aligning with respect to the printer and does not
require any special tools to install. The tray is capable of
stacking a minimum of 2" (51mm) of cut labels with only the use of
gravity. The tray collects labels with a minimum length of 2" (51mm)
and a maximum label length of 6.25" (159mm)

Label Present Sensor:
Field Installable. When using a present sensor, the printer unwinds
label stock from the supply reel, prints the label and automatically
presents the label out the mouth of the printer. The label present
sensor detects when the label has been removed and the printer then
retracts the label stock before printing the next label, preventing
loss of top-of-form registration.

Peel and Present Sensor
Assembly Plus Internal Rewind: Factory Installed. The peel
and present sensor assembly is designed to allow the printer to
unwind label stock from the supply reel, print the label,
automatically peel the label from its backing, leave the peeled
label at the mouth of the printer, and rewind the waste label
backing on the optional rewinder assemblies. The optional rewinder
must be installed along with the peel and present assembly. The
label present sensor detects when the label has been removed and the
printer then retracts the label stock before printing the next
label.

Internal Ethernet Connectivity:
Field Installable. The internal Ethernet Card is a self-powered
micro print server that plugs into the electronics expansion slot in
the back of the printer. The card is a multi-protocol print server
that provides shared network access to the printer for a variety of
network protocols and operating systems. The device supports the
AppleTalk (Ethertalk), Microsoft LAN Manager, Local Area Transport
(LAT), IPX (Netware), and TCP/IP protocols. The print server can
queue multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that
they are received from the hosts. The print server can
auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected to its
RJ45 port.

Twinax/Coax Connectivity:
Field installable. Allows for AS/400 host connectivity. Twinax and
Coax connectivity is provided as an internal option currently based
on I/O Corp. Interface.

RS422 Connectivity:
Field Installable. Allows for serial connection runs up to one mile
in length.

Flash/Font Expansion PCB:
Field Installable. The Flash/Font expansion features two modules
each of 4MB flash memory. The first module supports factory
installed ILPC, Kanji, or Simplified Chinese font sets. The second
module features 4MB of addressable flash program memory that will
support downloadable AGFA scalable fonts, downloadable TrueType
fonts, graphics, and label formats.

I/O Expansion Kit: Field
Installable. Upon release, the I/O expansion kit will consist of
three options. At its most basic, the I/O expansion option will
install into the electronic option cage in the back of the printer
and support a real time clock (RTC) and a 9 pin DIN general purpose
I/O (GPIO) interface. A second board will support RTC, GPIO and 8MB
of addressable flash program memory that will support ILPC fonts,
downloadable AGFA scalable fonts, downloadable TrueType fonts,
graphics, and a label formats. A third board will include all of the
above, plus support for PCMCIA type I and II PC cards.
